Pao " chao phraya"

[PYRU]

I've been looking for a leiurus or barbatus puffer for a long time. Last year I bought what I thought was a leiurus. However, there was a pic in a group I'm apart of that I identified as a leiurus. One of the researchers were tagged & it turns out this is an undescribed puffer that they're calling " chao phraya". I'm sure others have this same puffer from wetspot among other target puffer imports.

That would be an awesome puffer to own!

Well it looks cool, but still a lurker. Its very active in subdued lighting with heavy cover. It will definitely come greet you though.

It's way more active than my suvatti thank the lord, but way less than the narrowline. I can rub its belly.

Those are really cool. Do they coexist?

I'm not sure. Mines pretty vicious & will fight its reflection. I personally wouldnt risk it.

Abei and relatives are often kept together in Germany so I'd assume they do when given enough space. The original AquariumGlaser shipment blurb mentioned they did, but they are puffers so caution will be needed.
